Maybe not and I guess we'll never know for sure, but what would it have cost the Oil this summer to acquire Kuemper, a 3rd?... Maybe?

The risk was minimal and the potential reward was certainly there.
- As_I_See_It

2 goalies under contract already......Keumper wouldn't take a 2-way deal.

this is a really good question.

im not one to overstate the impact secondary players truly have.
but leddy can skate like the wind, phenomenal puck carrier. and at the very least is far better than hunt.
and boychuk isn't a number 1, but a solid 2. plays physical. has a cannon. simple game. him and petry are pretty decent 2's.

ud have to think leddy would be sheltered against this squad though. not in a top pairing role. dude definitely has his defensive warts

You think Eakins would play these guys?

lotta dudes on the ledge i bet

spoiledbyoil may have already ended it. and if he hasn't and Eakins says they played well in the post game, he'll have a aneurysm

Please talk sense into Eakins, Dellow

Why does the play die every time it touches Ference's stick?
- Ihatebrianburke

Might have to do with the fact that he kinda sucks.

Why in the penis chopping orgy name of Khali is Leddy on the top pairing in that situation?

Schultz looks like the rookie on his pairing
- TheNugeIsHuge

Nurse will be something one day, but he really needs to just grow and get some man strength. 210 at 19 is a helluva lot weaker than 210 at 23.

I really don't get why some ppl, including our GM and coach, are so high on this guy. He maybe makes one nice defensive play a game, and other than that, he's a soft winger, and I'm pretty sure Eberle would make a better offesive Dman that Jultz

If Eakins actually claims we played well after this gem of a game I will then fully support the fire Eakins cause after I said I wouldnt

Pulls a Nolan and calls them a pee wee hockey team

EDIT: All while looking in a mirror

EDM had 0 shots on the 1st PP and Hunt basically supervised a SHG. Good thing we're playing specialists over quality Dmen

I know he's an ahl coach but he's not dumb to say that the team played well,He knows He would screw himself by saying that.

A bit different when everyone on the team knows he made the call on Petry tonight.

- BigDre

his offensive instincts are impressive. and he showed that quickly.

but fukin hell. this game has never been a difference maker in any truly positive manner for us

derp
- BigDre

You are poopting me right?

Heroin = Drug

Heroine = Female Hero

(frank) off.

Whoa....can't call it a mistake if you don't know it was on the table.
- Jeropotato

True, I'm just inferring, but you would have to assume that it was on the table, wouldn't you? Boston was trading a legitimately good player for cap reason who could fill a hole on the Edmonton roster. You'd think that there would have been a phone call at the very least.

yep

wheels could really fall off if we lose tomo

Shots are 26 a piece?
